Beginning Blender covers the Blender 2.5 release in-depth. The book starts with the creation of simple figures using basic modeling and sculpting. It then teaches you how to bridge from modeling to animation, and from scene setup to texture creation and rendering, lighting, rigging, and ultimately, full animation. You will create and mix your own movie scenes, and you will even learn the basics of games logic and how to deal with games physics.

Learn the structure of a 3D world and how to implement a variety of 3D techniques including terrain generation and 3D model rendering.
Build three different types of 3D games step-by-step, including a first-person maze game, a battlefield tank game, and a 3D sidescrolling action game on the surface of Mars.
Learn to utilize High Level Shader Language (HLSL) to add lighting and multi-texturing effects to your 3D scenes.

Recently, a number of new technologies to capture 3D data have been developed. The application potential of 3D models is enormous, such as, in education, entertainment, medicine, etc. In this paper, we present our work toward creating 3D model of free form objects from pair of images. We use the basic process of building 3D models proposed in Multiple View Geometry in computer vision by Richard Hartley and Andrew Zisserman which includes three main phases: Preprocessing, Matching, Depth Recovery.

3D models are getting more and more attention from the research community. The application potential of 3D models is enormous, especially in creating virtual environments. In Vietnam National University - Hanoi, there is a need for a test-bed 3D environment for research in virtual reality and advance learning techniques. This need raises a very good motivation for the research of 3D reconstruction. In this paper, we present our work toward the creating of a 3D model of Vietnam National University - Hanoi automatically from image sequences.

AutoCAD is a very powerful 2D drafting application,
but behind the user interface (toolbars, pull-down
menus, and drawing window) lie the capabilities of
navigating and creating 3D models and generating
presentation-quality images from 3D models to share
with your clients. Before you begin navigating or creating
your own 3D models from 3D solids or surfaces or using
materials and user-defined lights to generate a photoreal-
istic rendering of a 3D model, you must become familiar
with how AutoCAD’s user interface works in 3D.

AutoCAD 3D Tutorials autoCAD is a computer aided drafting software package used by millions of professionals for 3D modeling, architectural design, engineering plans, and more. Learn how to use this software effectively and create drawings that you never knew you could.
